Recently, it was reported that a digital version of Thailand’s Tor Mor 6 (T.M.6) arrival form, known as the Thailand Digital Arrival Card (TDAC), will be implemented for all foreign arrivals, including Malaysians, by air, land and sea starting this month (May 2025).

However, it is important to ensure that you are using legitimate platforms to fill up the TDAC.

According to a report by Bangkok Post, a fake TDAC website has already surfaced on the same day that the TDAC requirement is enforced.

The fake website

Claiming to be an official third-party service provider, the fake website expects users to pay a USD10 (RM43) processing fee when it’s free on the real, official TDAC website.

Once the TDAC is filled out on the real, official website, users will receive an email that they can display upon arriving in Thailand.

Up to 3 days prior and no earlier!

The Immigration Bureau has since clarified that applications can be submitted within 3 days prior to arrival, but not earlier.

“The system is fully ready, and backup measures are in place to ensure smooth operations. During the initial phase, travellers who encounter any issues can temporarily use a paper immigration form,” Thailand’s Ministry of Tourism and Sports added.

Computer terminals are available at the Suvarnabhumi Airport for travellers who need to fill out the TDAC upon arrival.

Do stay tuned for more updates!
